I recommend Nationwide to all of my friends who have pets. Having pets can be expensive. With Nationwide you don’t have to worry. Your pet gets hurt or sick, no worries Nationwide is always there for us. We have 2 Great Danes and wouldn’t be without it!

This is the best insurance we have used!
This is the best pet insurance we have used. The claim is easy to make, it was fast, and the payment was easily transferred directly into my bank account. Everything the representative told us was true (and my husband and I were VERY skeptical after the last company we tried). We have told everyone who asks us about how easy this company is to deal with. Thank you!

Simon's Emergency Subcutaneous Ureteral Bypass Surgery
Nationwide Pet Insurance is amazing. My 4 year old cat, Simon, had a ureteral obstruction on 4/16/19. He was hospitalized for six days total due to his obstruction and the resulting surgery and he was seen at three different hospitals including a specialty clinic and ER. Simon had a $7,500 Subcutaneous Ureteral Bypass (S.U.B.) system surgically placed at a specialty clinic in Seattle (3 hours away from where I live) after 4 days of work up. The total expenses were ~$14,000 and I only ended up paying $1,600 out-of-pocket. Nationwide saved Simon's life. This surgery is not done very often because usually pet owners cannot afford it. The doctor who did Simon's surgery is only one out of a few in the state that can and said he only does roughly 12 a year. I am so thankful I have pet insurance because I was able to help my kitty. I am thankful for Dr. Patete, Dr. Stockdale, Dr. Seekins, and Dr. Nash who saved him and for each of their teams that gave him so much love and provided the utmost care to him and me. I would also like to add that my claims were processed in less than the 30 days that they say it could take and I was reimbursed in a very timely manner. Thank you Nationwide for everything! Simon is so special to me and I am so happy he is healthy and happy again.
